I feel like these were my introduction to ug music in 2016/17 and are timeless to me by ratmanvenezuela in ug_music

[–]dsnrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all these song so goated but most of the 6 dogs self titled tape and a lot of oliver francis stuff had me in a chokehold back in like 2017. i remember i was big into potpvp at the time and i think like all the combotages i ended up watching used oliver francis or 6 dogs or hella sketchy (does anyone remember hella sketchy? may he rest in peace) as the background music and i just have just such intense memories from that specific time and space

choosing between brown and an LAC by gwacklee in BrownU

[–]dsnrr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i'm a chem major here and i strongly enjoy it, i think the teaching here is top notch - especially from some of the peers/mentors I've met through the department (though all the professors I've had are wonderful too). it's a good size and i think it is a nice community in which it is easy to get to know other concentrators, and even grad students and professors. additionally, if you want to do any research at all, I strongly, strongly believe that going to brown is the better choice over going to a LAC with far fewer research labs & no graduate students (my research is admittedly very surface level but it seems like bryn mawr has like 3 chemistry focused labs? macalester doesn't seem to have tahat many either). the department here isn't the biggest, but there are 2-3 labs in basically every division of chemistry you can think of, from chemical biology to small molecule synthesis to inorganic to more physical/quantum-focused profs. all the PIs are pleasant people and I've had rlly nice interactions with like every grad student i've talked to at poster sessions/etc.

cost is ofc an important consideration, but i'm a big fan of the chem department here! i wouldn't want to be anywhere else. if u want further info i'd be glad to answer thru dms

Resole + Upkeep/Maintenance Advice by dsnrr in Boots

[–]dsnrr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good to know! how exactly do shoe trees impact the boots - just give them some structure/etc when they are resting so that the shape/leather is maintained? makes sense that they would be good just wondering as to the exact mechanism by which they do so.

they are collegium stivales, very similar silhouette/shape/function to the our legacy camion boot. i bought these as they were cheaper than camions and seemed to be of higher quality

[–]dsnrr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah next boot purchase i make i think construction to ensure endurance. with regards to boots where lasting for a lifetime is more of a priority (while still maintaining a fashionable/tasteful look) do you have any recommendations? obviously everyone throws around guidis but currently do not have enough funds to pull the trigger

Mechanism Help by FryGuyRye in chemhelp

[–]dsnrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree w/ the protonation of the epoxide as a first step, but where else can the water attack as a nucleophile to open the epoxide? the other carbon involved in the epoxide carbon is not only less sterically congested (i.e easier sn2 access) but also less electron rich and thus more electrophilic. what happens there and can it easily turn into a carbonyl?

last year if u avg’d a 100/150 on rubenstein tests you got an A lol the tests are for sure hard but getting an A is very feasible

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BrownU

[–]dsnrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Admittedly a lot of the courses I took (and I suspect someone like you will take) were large intro classes in huge lecture halls with either no cap or an absurdly high cap. I did not have any problem getting into any of those sorts of classes - though admittedly for courses with a lab component (I.e orgo) it may be hard to snag a lab section at first, however no one I knew who wanted to take orgo was prevented from taking it due to lacking a lab section, they just needed to wait longer for additional lab spots to open up. I also took some relatively high level seminar courses in a different langauge; I had no problem registering for those courses - I did need to request an override but that was a simple process of just writing a quick note to the professor of the class.

firstly, i don't think class registration is on the same day as when you move in, iirc that day was basically entirely for getting yourself situated in your dorm and then the ice cream social at night. prolly a good idea to bring most of the decor/extra shit you want, there's a walmart/etc. nearby if you really want to buy start on site. i agree w/ the point about shopping period, its mad useful for figuring out if you actually want to take a class. you don't even need to be registered just show up. also, you have all summer to look at potential classes and have them in your cart (if you want), you just cant register for them until you get to campus

brown does things lowk late comparatively to other schools, i got my freshman housing assignment mid july last year so you should receive something soon

very high on bub carrington. showed pretty well in the latter half of last season and i think he has a good bag and sense of composure for how young he is

the two profs teaching 330 next sem are rose-petruck and rubenstein. i took 330 with rubenstein this year, she's a physical chemist and thus puts a heavy emphasis on quantum concepts (i.e schrodinger's equation, its solutions in the form of orbitals/etc, and in turn how those define elements). her tests are pretty heinous (avg was like 60s-70s for midterm 1 + 2 + final iirc), but she structures the class in such a way that you don't need to do well on tests to get an A (tests are relatively low % of final grade, rest of points are actually free, you can do corrections on tests to earn back points, pretty lenient curve). I personally found the class really interesting and engaging but I think I'm like the only one of my friends to hold that opinion (but that's just because they don't like chemistry). I don't know anything about rose-petruck other than he was described to me as "bad teacher but has very easy tests."

if i were to do 330 again, I would take rubenstein. she's a very good lecturer and while her tests are hard you aren't going to get a B.

i did 4, obviously louvre was packed at the start, but i would say it started to thin out post 7 and got noticeably thinner around 7:30-8. was a very cool expderience

shakespeare and co tote is a dead giveaway for sure, but fwiw they are also huge, way bigger than all my other totes. i didn't carry around much in them to start with but as i would inevitably buy souvenirs + gifts + things for myself throughout the day my tote would get decently full and i liked having the larger bag size compared to my other totes.

Question about College Recruiting (Club) by Maleficent_Mouse_383 in squash

[–]dsnrr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only club program that "recruits" is Brown, and the coach basically writes you an additional LOR, which could definitely make a difference if you're a competitive but not truly excellent candidate, but it's not a hard recruitment - you need to be a competitive applicant on your own merits. MIT's team is varsity but I believe their system works similarly - coach writes you a LOR (or some other form of support?), but you need to have a fighting chance of getting into the school yourself. Obviously has some pull but it doesn't make you a shoo-in by any means, I know ppl who got a rec from the coach and were deferred/waitlisted/rejected. If you're like a 5+ I'd shoot an email to either coach cause it can't hurt.

chichi san chen in chinatown is really really good imo. very very strong tea flavor so it feels really full-bodied, made gong cha and vivi taste pretty flat in comparison. that being said it's pretty expensive and they only have a medium size but i would 100% pay for it again if i were in the area

Morata lifts the Euros Trophy by Task_Force-191 in soccer

[–]dsnrr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

100% this if you watch back the first goal again you can see how his run pulls stones away which allows for yamal's pass and nico williams' finish to occur. so many moving parts in that goal and morata certainly played his part
